Help!

Just been clearing out my documents folder and found the renewal forms for my provisional. It seems I should have renewed my provisional back in august 2008 so thats nearly 2 years ago.

Will I still be able to renew it? Or will they make me reapply completely.

Its quite urgent I find out what to do here as I really need to start driving lessons again, and obvioulsy can't without an in date driving license.

Also, address is totally out of date so how do I go about changing it?

Hi Sam

Have a look at this page from the DVLA

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/DriverLicensing/MedicalRulesForDrivers/index.htm

Under the surrendering section there is some info on reapplying after a period of time.If not you should be able to contact them. Last time I renewed it took them longer than they should but they sent me a letter to say that provided I had not been told not to drive by my Dr I was OK to drive. I had to carry that in case stopped by the police. I think that there are copies of most of the medical forms on line -so you can look at what is there.

Sam it may be worth giving them a quick call to clarify the process you need to go through - 0870 240 0009. As it will have been over three years since your last medical report this may be first stage.
